US EditionMichigan AG sues Trump administration over sharing health data with ICE
- Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel became part of a coalition of 19 state attorneys general taking legal action against the Trump Administration over the unauthorized disclosure of Medicaid health information to ICE.
- The lawsuit comes after reports surfaced last month that, in June, Medicaid data containing personal identifiers was transferred from the federal agency overseeing health programs to the Department of Homeland Security.
- State officials argue this data transfer violates multiple federal privacy laws and may cause individuals to forgo emergency Medicaid, risking serious health consequences or death.
- HHS defended the action, stating it acted within legal authority to ensure Medicaid benefits reach only those lawfully entitled, with CMS targeting states that exceed federal guidelines.
- The legal challenge and public concerns highlight tensions over privacy, immigration enforcement, and access to essential healthcare for vulnerable populations nationwide.
